LMAO! Read again. The "local solution" has for decades been to hire stupid administrators who would fire the 9th grade teacher for having 9th grade students who can't read at grade level because the elementary school teachers didn't adequately teach phonics. That's a massive fail at the "local solution" level. MASSIVE fail. Do you not understand that, does it go over your head? [/quote]

Not either PP, but that is absolutely not true.  It is far more likely with the current NCLB and CC solution.

Oh, it's DEFINITELY true.  The original fail has always been with things like the ES teachers who are putting more energy into sight words which end up crippling students, as opposed to teaching phonics.  NCLB and testing expose those existing problems, they didn't create those problems.  It seems to me that you are utterly confused on what is the symptom, versus what is the disease, let alone what the cure might be.

The only real question remaining is the cure - how to address those problems - but again, NCLB leaves it up to the local solution to figure out how to address those problems.  Some school districts do it the stupid way, by indiscriminately firing the wrong teachers, whereas other school districts address it by going back and looking at their curriculum.[/quote]
